No sorry Norman, the reflection from the mirrors,lap dancing
pole and the water in the jaccuzi messed up camera flash.

Re: GT40 Australia #48

Hey Pete
My car is angry with you for that stretch impression, in fact it's added you to it's hate list: Porsche, Ferrari, Pete, etc.Not a good Idea to come to Melbourne in the near future it may eat you.

Re: GT40 Australia #48

Been awhile since I posted.Coz nothing to report [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
My car is in the body shop being prepared for painting.
I can only hope that the bloke doing it is as good and thorough as he is slow. Very frustrating. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]


Had a look at Flatchat punting his yellow GT40 at Queensland raceway Sunday.The sound it makes at full noise down the straight is very very impressive. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Thanks Denis, everyone who knows Graham speaks very highly
of him and his work.Graham rang me after reading my post and he seems like a real pro. I guess I am just an impatient bastard!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: GT40 Australia #48

Just doesn't get much better than seeing the paint go on. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Just noticed the other day that Mazda Velocity Red has a mica fleck through it. Unusual for such a solid colour. Probably what makes it look so good. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I noticed Mazda also has mica in their solid yellow colour as well...interesting.

Hey, have you decided about pin stripe colours?

Re: GT40 Australia #48

Thanks Guys,
I can't wait to see it together either.
Craig I decided on the blue stripe it highlights the silver
better than the black. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: GT40 Australia #48

Glad you went with the blue pin stripe, it will have more flair.

I also can't wait to see it(and hear it), once it's together. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
